Add This 5K To Your Race Roster This May
It is officially running season. Runners are gearing up for Grandma's Marathon and there are races all across Minnesota for runners to practice and get their miles in. I just learned of a new 5K that benefits a great cause.
This particular race is called the CSM John S. Werner Memorial 5K Run-Walk. This race is put on by the St. Louis Historical Society and the Veterans Memorial Hall. It is being held in honor of the namesake, who was a former Rice Lake Mayor and veteran.
When Is The Race?
The race will take place on Saturday, May 11th at 9 a.m. It starts at the Other Place Bar and Grill.
The namesake of the race was also a Boy Scout Troopmaster and local mechanic. Benefits from the race will go towards the St. Louis Historical Society's Veterans Memorial Hall, which was a passion of his.
